What is recorded here

In undulating pastureland. Known locally as a ‘Lisheen’, this very poorly preserved circular rath (diam. c. 55m) is defined by an earthen bank and an external fosse from NW to N, and by a scarp from SSE through S to NW. A field boundary cuts across the monument from NNE to SSE and no visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives to the E of it.
